    Yes, absolutely! A kaftan can be worn as a dress. They come in varying sizes and lengths and can be dressed up with a belt and tights, or kept casual as a flowing tunic. Find vintage and contemporary kaftans from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.

    To wear a wrap dress, slip your arms through the sleeves, positioning the opening in front. You'll notice that one side is longer than the other, thanks to a panel of fabric that extends across the chest. Locate the belt or button on the end of this side. Then, slip it through the hole on the opposite side of the dress. If your dress has a belt, bring it behind your body, wrapping it around your waist. Then, tie it in the front to secure it. Button wrap dresses won't require these steps. Once you fasten or tie the dress, you'll be ready to finish it off with jewelry, shoes and accessories. Find a collection of wrap dresses on 1stDibs.

    Whether you wear a necklace with a sequin dress is up to you. A necklace can put an attractive finishing touch on a dress that features sequin embellishments. However, you may wish to choose a simple piece, such as a chain necklace, a small pendant or a single string of pearls, in order to keep attention focused on the dress. Consider the shape and depth of the neckline when selecting a necklace to pair with your dress. Find a diverse assortment of necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Yes, you can generally wear a wrap dress to a wedding. In fact, wrap dresses can be flattering picks for special occasions due to the way they visually contour the body with their crisscrossing lines. Just be sure to choose a dress that matches the level of formality for the wedding and to avoid wearing white to keep attention focused on the bride. Shop an assortment of wrap dresses on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    The dresses they wore in the 1960s varied depending on the time of day and the occasion. For everyday wear, many women opted for simply tailored frocks called shift dresses. They often featured bold geometric prints in eye-catching colors. In the evening, women tended to opt for gowns with plunging necklines, fitted waists and flowing full skirts. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of vintage dresses from the 1960s.
